Screening of 'Homo Sapiens' and talk about art, architecture and geology by Stine Dalager Nielsen

Embark on a cinematic exploration of decay in abandoned spaces with the mesmerizing documentary 'Homo Sapiens,' hailed as a masterpiece for its evocative compositions and suspenseful energy, prefaced by an introduction on how architecture can be reinscribed within the eternal material circles of the natural world.

Still from 'Homo Sapiens' by Nikolaus Geyrhalter

The film Homo Sapiens is introduced with a presentation on decay, unused resources and how we can reinscribe architecture into nature's endless circular material cycle. The presentation by architect and postdoctoral researcher with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation Stine Dalager Nielsen takes place in English and lasts 20 minutes.

'Homo Sapiens'

DIRECTOR: Nikolaus Geyrhalter 

The Guardian's review called it "the most extraordinary documentary film in years," while other critics compared the film's compositions to the iconic works of artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Andreas Gursky, and Christian Boltanski. Homo Sapiens is, in other words, a masterpiece; a patient film about decay in abandoned spaces, but with a suspenseful energy like a post-apocalyptic drama.

ENTRANCE FEE: 105 kr. / 75 kr. for members of CAFx Community and Cinemateket

WHO SPEAKS FOR THE FUTURE? Architecture of intergenerational Democracy
Democracy has long relied on a quiet assumption: that decisions can be revisited, corrected, undone. That it will, eventually, be someone else’s turn. But what happens when decisions no longer remain reversible?
